For SQL Server 2012 or later, your first code block should work, even if the columns are not already strings:
CONCAT (Transact-SQL) - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]

The second code block would not work, since SQL Server doesn't use " for strings.

If you're using a different DBMS, you will need to tell us which one.

You need + between your and can do this much more easily as:

SELECT SLH_BOOK + '/'+ SLH_PAGE

But If you really want to make sure there is no space in between, you should do something like:

SELECT RTRIM(SLH_BOOK) + '/'+ LTRIM(SLH_PAGE)

ALSO, you may have to cast SLH_PAGE to a string if it's an INT
